If Dot had written the piece saying that FSU was unlikely to move, you would have jumped all over him. But since Borasch casts some doubt on whether we will leave you want to read him his rights. This is June or July all over again. Get your hopes up about leaving the ACC, and then go bananas when nothing happens.

I'll just sit back and watch--again.

I agree to an extent; however, what bothered me was the way he spoke with 100% "certainty" that FSU did not have the votes to get into the SEC. He stated it as fact and I highly doubt, unless he had driks with all 14 Presidents inside the SEC last night, that he knows without a doubt that FSU does not have the votes to get into the SEC. I'm not saying we do, nor am I even saying the SEC is interested; however, even if he heard from a reliable source at FSU or wherever that the votes were not there, its hard to say with much confidence that it is fact.

Because it was fact, from last time. We didn't have the votes. If we would have....we would have been in the SEC. It's really not that difficult to understand.

Going forward...i doubt we get these votes but who knows how this will all play out. I don't think we'll ever go to the SEC. I think we have a stronger possibility of going to the Big 12 (which in and of itself is a long shot). Again, th against personally what i want, which is to go to the SEC.

One thing to consider....how will the new Big 12/SEC alliance play out? You know the TV networks are going to have their say. And if anyone is going to get what they want...it's the television networks. I don't think after making this rosy marriage to play each other as conference champions, they're going to publicly battle it out over a few ACC schools. I think each of them will consult with ESPN/Fox/NBC, they'll consult with the schools they're interested in and each other, and then make offers from there. If anything.

Are you talking about the early 90's or some secret vote that happened more recently?
